Adult Learn to Row 2010
This program is for adults interested in learning the basic techniques and styles of sculling and sweep rowing. The program is a low impact sport available to adults of all athletic levels. We offer five evening sessions of two weeks each. The two week(10 day) program includes both instruction on land and learning basic rowing technique on the water. On water activities are dependent on weather and river conditions. After completing the basic two week program, those interested in continuing to row will join the adult novice program.
